In the same price range
The highest score for each brand in each range.
Comparing brand to brand only makes sense at the same price. In each range, the model with the highest spec sheet score from each:
| Range | Samsung | Motorola |
|---|---|---|
| up to £150.00 | no Samsung in this range | no Motorola in this range |
| £150.00 a £230.00 | no Samsung in this range | no Motorola in this range |
| £230.00 a £300.00 | no Samsung in this range | no Motorola in this range |
| £300.00 a £450.00 | no Samsung in this range | no Motorola in this range |
| £450.00 a £750.00 | no Samsung in this range | no Motorola in this range |
| over £750.00 | no Samsung in this range | no Motorola in this range |

Where the numbers come from
The numbers come from the catalog collected that day: each model counts once, with the lowest price from a trusted seller across its versions. The spec sheet score (0 to 10) and the components are the same as on each phone’s page. Price ranges: the same as in the price overview.
The guide helps you decide and doesn’t recommend a phone for you: the final price is the one at the store, and the spec score doesn’t measure real-world photos or durability.
